US President Donald Trump To Start Building US - Mexico Border Wall This Summer?

Work on the border wall between Mexico and the US could begin this northern summer, US Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly says.

"I think by late spring, early summer, we'll have some prototypes," and then we'll be able to move forward by - into the summer," Kelly said on Thursday in a video clip posted on Twitter by Fox News."We won't be able to do it all in one afternoon ... but we're going to going to get at it as quick as we can," the secretary said, noting that about 100 companies have shown interest in the project.

Kelly appeared on the video with US Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The two are visiting El Paso, Texas, and San Diego this week to "observe Southern border operations" and meet with personnel from the Justice Department and Homeland Security Department (DHS), according to a DHS news release.
